Insertional chromatin immunoprecipitation: a method for isolating specific genomic regions

J Biosci Bioeng. 2009 Nov;108(5):446-9. doi: 10.1016/j.jbiosc.2009.05.005.

Abstract

We established a novel method, insertional chromatin immunoprecipitation (iChIP), for isolation of specific genomic regions. In iChIP, specific genomic domains are immunoprecipitated with antibody against a tag, which is fused to the DNA-binding domain of an exogenous DNA-binding protein, whose recognition sequence is inserted into the genomic domains of interest. The iChIP method will be a useful tool for dissecting chromatin structure of genomic region of interest.
